I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but it is usually better to perform any calculations on the database than PHP.
A simple example being,
Code: Select all
SELECT SUM(fieldname) FROM yourtable
The equivilent in php, if you have an array of values is
array_sum()
You need to be more specific in your question.
